Who are we? 

HoustonSSC was founded in 2011 by Omid Rafiei. He and his wife, Andrea Rafiei, met in a kickball league in Austin. When their life took them to Houston, Omid wanted to create a similar type of business that brought him and his wife together. What started as a side business with Omid working on the couch, quickly grew into a full-time job. By 2013, Omid and Andrea had both left their careers in the corporate world to go all in on the family business! Our greatest joy is seeing people enhance their lives through social sports!!

League Coordinators and Sports Officials 

 

We are proud to be the only league in Houston that invests in League Coordinators at every game! League Coordinators are our eyes and ears on the ground making sure that everything goes smoothly. They communicate any issues that may arise to the nightly supervisor. League Coordinators are on site to support the sports officials and help with any questions that players may have. They are also responsible for obtaining the final scores from the sports official(s) and posting them along with team and game day photos.
